to be honest I took over the administration of the Zimbra server so am just working with what I was left. It seems the best option is to create an account rather than a distribution list, and then share the inbox with all those who need access to it. However in testing, it worked fine for just the web version of zimbra, but those synced with Mail, the shared folder didn't show up. Is the "shared" option only going to work with the web client or would a web/imap mixture still work?

Thanks for the replies so far and thanks for any more info! I am curious how others make this work in their own environments. I too agree that I don't think it was the correct decision when it was setup to use Distribution Lists rather than individual accounts. I guess he was trying to save some licenses as making them all accounts will obviously pull from that.

Cheers
